most mages are squishy to physical damage.
but they can sure tank magic.
and there's plenty of games or series where any mental stuff is an extension of a kind of magic. see again, most jrpgs. which makes sense seeing how magic tends to be associated with the brain in the first place.
go target someone else on 'extras,' as how i see a standard mage ain't changing there.
